It's basically a super dose of vitamin A. It is used for acne, but there can be side effects so be sure to research if you use it.

Rather than me try to explain I'm going to post an article I actually saw on here lol: http://www.beautylish.com/a/vciwa/what-is-retinol

But basically it helps with cell turnover which helps acne because it sort of cleans out the pores. Or something. Lolol
